- Q2The thick black lines on the map below show the locations of mid-ocean ridges. Which geologic feature is most likely to form at a mid-ocean ridge?PeninsulaDeltaVolcanoPlateau60s8.9b
- Q3The image shows a plate boundary. Arrows have been added to indicate the movement of the plates. What plate boundary feature is also shown?A valley forming at an active divergent boundaryA fault forming at an active transform boundaryA ridge formed by an inactive convergent boundaryA volcano formed by an active transform boundary60s8.9b
- Q4The map below shows the locations of four active volcanoes in the Caribbean Sea. What do these volcanoes indicate about plate tectonics in the region?The volcanoes form a line, indicating a diverging plate boundary.The volcanoes form an island arc, indicating a converging plate boundary.Two plates are moving apart, creating new seafloorTwo plates are moving past each other, causing faulting and magma formation.60s8.9b
- Q5Rift valleys can form when fractures in Earth’s crust widen. The valley walls slowly move at a rate of only a few millimeters a year. Which of these best describes the type of tectonic activity that forms rift valleys?Rift valleys form where two plates move away from each other.Rift valleys form where a continental plate moves under an oceanic plate.Rift valleys form where a plate slides horizontally past another plate.Rift valleys form where an oceanic plate moves under another oceanic plate.60s8.9b
